This ceramic sculpture of Three Toucans is one of the most complicated sculptures I have made. All the coloring is quite accurate to the three species and was difficult to achieve. I did some touch-ups with enamel, but it is mostly glaze (cone 5, oxidation) The beaks are hollow to achieve maximum balance. (and they are that way in nature too!) This piece is already complete and I cannot make it again. Style: rustic, fanciful, whimsical, nature Note: This item is sold but I can make a similar item

For Grace's VaseI am very satisfied with Ellen's work. She was very communicative and she took extra care in packing the products to ensure nothing break during shipping. I will be glad to work with Ellen again!

For Erin's Cake ToppersI just received my custom made cake topper from Ellen and it is beautiful! The pictures didn't do it justice! I am so happy with my decision to use Ellen, she finished it much earlier than I needed and it is way better than I even imagined! Thank you so much!

For enamel pendantsEllen took my idea and implemented it perfectly. The results exceeded what I thought I might get. When I brought the project to her I had an idea of what I wanted, but no concept of how it could actually happen. She understood what I needed and knew how to get it done. We're really pleased with the pendants she made and she was a pleasure to work with.

For Simple Curves PlatesThe plates Ellen made for me were fantastic. She was more concerned about the look of the final glaze than me. I couldn't be more pleased with her design. I planned to order some small bowls after I return from my next trip
Andrea Lopez
For Andrea's Home & GardenWorking with Ellen was great. I had been searching for someone to do my project for about a year, until finally I found this website and her. I loved that she did not complain or put any excuses to anything I asked for it was always her opinion and "but you're the customer"
I am definitely going to come back to her.
